Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math ... oh my! Did you know that there is a regular STEAM Team program for kids ages 6 and up at the Wando Mount Pleasant Library? The engaging program combines literacy and multimedia with hands-on experiences on a different STEAM topic each session, with instruction from a former elementary school teacher and current children’s librarian. Every session of STEAM Team follows a similar format: a fictional book, a song, an informational book, an educational video and a hands-on activity, all focused on a single STEAM topic. The different modes of learning are based on Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which explains that people process and learn information in different ways. Participants engage in academic discussion throughout each session, answering questions based on the scientific method. The method incorporates activating prior knowledge, asking a question, forming a hypothesis, conducting an experiment and making a conclusion based on the data. The KWL Strategy focuses on the following questions: What do you Know? What do you Wonder? What did you Learn? What were your misconceptions? Read aloud portions of the program point out various text features within the books to enhance reading comprehension. Past STEAM Team sessions focused on a variety of topics. Children have investigated bubbles and experimented with bouncing bubbles using a homemade solution, learned about flight and experimented with different paper airplane designs, identified constellations and created take-home constellation projectors. Kids learned about mechanical engineering by designing their own catapults and learned about motion and forces by making their own bouncy balls. For October, participants all got their hands dirty dissecting pumpkins and took home pumpkin seeds to grow. Children learned about block coding on the computer for one STEAM Team session that was such a hit, it led to the creation of a new Coding Club program at the library for kids! Future topics include chemical reactions with volcanoes, states of matter with homemade ice cream, gravity with an egg drop challenge, buoyancy with boat building and more. You can find upcoming STEAM Team program dates and topics on our monthly program calendar at ccpl.org or by subscribing to our weekly children’s email newsletter.
